Some improvement in the drought situation occurred across western Colorado, as several storm systems brought significant precipitation to the area and the snowpack continued above normal for most of the mountains.  Moderate to severe drought conditions prevailed across northwest Colorado, although some decrease in areal coverage of the severe drought conditions occurred by the end of the month.  West central Colorado and a small portion of southwest Colorado remained abnormally dry throughout the month. Please see the April 2005 Storm Data Publication for a continuation on this drought situation.
